A Long Beach man was arrested Wednesday, Jan. 13, on suspicion of raping two women he met on a dating website.

Alejandro Martinez, 34, was taken into custody in a restaurant parking lot after deputies were contacted by the women, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department news release. Jail records show Martinez was released on bail Sunday. Charges have not been filed.

One of the women met Martinez on a dating website on Jan. 12, and invited Martinez to the other woman's home in Rancho Cucamonga, the news release said. He showed up there about 1:20 a.m. Jan. 13.

Both women told deputies that between 1:20 and 5:30 a.m., "they became incapacitated and could not remember what happened," the news release said.

About 5:30 a.m., the woman whose home it was awoke to Martinez sexually assaulting her, the news release said. Martinez quickly left, and the women -- both of whom reported being sexually assaulted -- called the police.

A sheriff's deputy, with the help one of the women, convinced Martinez to return to Rancho Cucamonga. Martinez was arrested in a parking lot off Foothill Boulevard just east of I-15, according to the news release and jail records.

He was booked on suspicion of rape of a drugged victim and rape of a victim unconsious of the act, jail records show.

The Sheriff's Department asks that anyone with further information about the incident, or who may have been victimized by Martinez, contact the Rancho Cucamonga station at 909-477-2800. Information can be submitted anonymously at 1-800-78-CRIME or www.wetip.com.
